World’s First Stablecoin Exchange ::: ForDeX :::

SINGAPORE - 02/07/2019 — ZPX has launched the alpha version of ForDeX, a stablecoin-focused exchange built on 0x. ForDeX is a first-of-its-kind platform solely focused on enabling traders to buy, sell and store wealth in a range of stablecoins denominated in currencies including the US Dollar, the Korean Won and the Singapore Dollar. ForDeX is launching alongside KRWb and will be the first platform offering end-to-end trading from USD fiat to KRWb stablecoin.

“Attacks on centralized exchanges (CEXs) have continued with increased frequency – total losses in just the first half of 2018 were over $1 billion. We’re now slowly seeing renewed interest in decentralized exchanges (DEXs) despite current challenges. We expect DEXs to vastly overtake centralized exchanges eventually.”, said Aditya (Adi) Mishra, COO and Co-founder at ZPX, the company building ForDeX.

“ForDeX addresses a host of user needs. First, it has a ready fiat-on-ramp at launch which ensures that users are able to convert their fiat into their favourite cryptocurrencies on the platform itself. Second, being a DEX, it is fully decentralized and does not take custody of user funds. Last, it supports multiple wallets such as Trezor, Ledger and Metamask.”, said Ramani (Ram) Ramachandran, CEO and Co-founder at ZPX.

“We’ve currently added 3 US Dollar stablecoins and 1 Korean Won stablecoin, KRWb. Our short-term plan is to enable margin trading, shorting and leverage to allow users to take on larger positions without committing much capital. Our long-term goal is to become a one-stop platform for cryptocurrency foreign exchange trading (which is why the platform is called ForDeX – a foreign exchange DEX).”, according to Gangadhar Sulkunte, who heads products at ZPX.

Currently in its alpha version, ForDeX invites users to try out the platform and engage with the team on Reddit, Telegram and Twitter to help the team improve and modify features that users may require. ZPX plans to continue alpha testing for another few months and then launch a beta version with more features installed.
